Overview

• The 79-year-old lodged a retrospective planning application in early July after erecting the new garden shed in April without prior permission.
• Hampstead Hill Gardens Residents’ Association filed a formal objection over the shed’s abutment of the boundary fence and its perceived overbearing visual impact.
• Whiteacre Planning submitted a support letter asserting the green-painted, cedar-roofed structure meets all local and national policy and causes no loss of privacy or overshadowing.
• Planning documents show the replacement outbuilding is 5.95 sqm larger than the previous summerhouse and breaches the original two-metre setback requirement.
• Camden Council has not set a decision date for the application, leaving potential enforcement or modification measures unresolved.
